He said he was charged $19 & his rental was 95 miles. It's $0.20 per mile. They always like to say that the fuel & service per mile rate comes out to about the same as per gallon but it never does. 20 cents sounds about right, actually it sounds a little under.
Based on what I found the published refuelling rate to be at one location in december ... if this is still accurate and applicable for Houston.. then the amount charged seems to be consistent with the refuelling charge

I don't see a conspiracy, all I see is a case where someone did indeed not replace all the fuel used
